I talked to an old friend tonight. He used to take me to the range when I was much younger. It turns out he is a gun/ammo hoarder lol. He said next time we come to Houston he will take us to the range and let my daughter shoot his pistols before we put the money out on a purchase. What a guy!

I took my 10yo daughter and 15yo son to Walmart to pick up a few things we forgot for school. Before leaving, I headed to the sporting goods section to see if they had any ammo (they didn't). I was just about to head to the cashier when I saw a little pink 22 rifle. I called my daughter over and asked the employee to hand me the rifle to see if it would fit her. She is a beautiful blonde haired, grey eyed, thin little girl with a southern drawl. She has been asking to go to the range, but my 357 is too much for a first time shooter. I was showing her how to hold it and suddenly old men surrounded us and remarking how wonderful it is to see a beautiful little girl want to shoot. Then she says 'Mama, I don't want the pink one, everyone will think I'm a wuss. Sir, will you let me see the black one'. All the old men started laughing. They let her 'try on' as many rifles as she wanted.

We couldn't find one that was good on length and weight so we didn't get one. She asked if we could keep looking for one. How could I say no to that?
